The Barringer Crater came to exist around 50,000 years ago when an asteroid traveling at 50 times the speed of sound collided with the Earth. In what U.S. state is it located?

The Barringer Crater remained dormant for tens of thousands of years while the environment in Arizona became progressively drier, preserving traces of the meteor's impact and size. It is known as the Barringer Crater because the site is owned by the Barringer family.
